A small component of software (the client) that you install on your network sends us information about your printers several times a day. The transferred data packets are transmitted encrypted. The client systematically checks monitored printing systems for information such as printer usage data, printer counts, toner levels, error status updates, etc. and sends this information to printer4you.com. This enables us to trigger and monitor processes on our portal. For more information, see here.
